Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Time passed quickly during the busy days, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for them to return.

"Grandfather, it's cold, so please be careful on the way back. Jingtang and I won't be able to go back for a reunion this year." Zhou came to see him off early in the morning.

Madam Xue said lovingly, "Be careful here, and don't worry about your family."

"When you go back, you must focus on your studies and don't neglect them. Come back next year and I will let Old Wu test you." Old Master Yu looked serious as he stared at the teenagers in front of him.

"Grandfather, we can save it." Several people agreed respectfully.

"Go back and tell your parents not to worry about me. I'm living well here and I can go back whenever I want."

"Yes"

Old Mrs. Chen came over and took Old Madam Xue's hand, reluctant to let her go: "Sister, will you come again next year?"

"My elder sister is here. Next year I will bring my granddaughter here."

Old Mrs. Chen's face relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good, it can't be ignored! Come and live in my house next year. We have a bigger house now and there's room for you."

Madam Xue held her hand tightly and said with a smile, "Okay, I will, I will."

There, Qing Ning, Qing Ke and Guo Xinjun were together, talking about various snacks in detail.

"This is Baihuaxiu, with a total of twenty colors and eighteen patterns for each color. These need to be re-fried before eating. I have written down the recipe and put it inside. If the elders in your family think these are useful, you can write to me and I will send two capable people to your house to make them." Qingke said, pointing to the dozen boxes of snacks on the carriage.

This was her new pastry, patterned after a hundred flowers, and it had been praised by many when it first came out. When Xu Minglang saw it, he wanted to order some to go, but he had to be persuaded to go back because he didn't have time.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Qingke."

Qingke waved his hand and said it was his duty.

"Brother Guo, I asked my uncle San to make this pair of newlywed dolls for you. Congratulations on your wedding!" Qing Ning handed him a pair of festive newlywed dolls.

Guo Xinqun took it, looked at it again and again, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen a doll like this. It is round and auspicious, festive and cute. I will put it in the main hall so that others can see it. Thank you, Qing Ning."

Qing Ning shook her head: "Brother, you are too polite. There is more."

As he spoke, he pulled him to a box, opened the lid and pointed at the things inside and explained them one by one.

"This box is a bunch of velvet flowers I've been researching for a long time. My aunt and the others worked day and night to make them. I heard from my second brother that there aren't many sisters in the family, so I prepared eight. I wrapped the ones for my future sister-in-law and aunt separately. They're not worth much, so I just enjoy them all. And here are the rabbit fur headbands and hand guards. I only prepared a pair each for my aunt and grandmother. Just treat them as fun."

Guo Xinqun was deeply touched. "Sister Qingning, you are so thoughtful. On behalf of my elders and sisters at home, I want to thank you for your concern. If it weren't so far, I would definitely invite you to have a drink at my wedding."

"If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely go to Beijing. It won't be too late for brother to treat us to a drink then."

Guo Er came to the side and said: "Sister, you are so partial. Why don't I have any?"

Qingke smiled and said, "Brother Guo, except for the ones in this box, everything else on this cart is yours."

"I was just joking with her. How could I not know that this car probably has almost all of your workshops moved into it?"

After saying this, several people laughed softly.

Afterwards, Qing Ning and the others explained the gifts they had prepared for everyone, fearing that they would get confused.

The farewell lasted for half an hour before I watched from afar as the large group of people left.

The village suddenly became deserted with so many people gone, and it was a little too quiet.

In the carriage on the return journey, Xue Mingxiang and Guo Xian accompanied Old Madam Xue.

"The Chen family is so thoughtful. Every family has a full cart. I'm afraid there's nothing left in the workshop." Guo Xian said with emotion.

Xue Mingxiang: "That's right, the three sisters are also very considerate. They said that in order to use the best for Brother Guo's wedding, they made a batch of those pastries and asked them to take them back to the elders of the family for review. If they are needed, they will send someone to make new ones."

"Yes, not to mention the long journey, this journey alone is exhausting enough."

"Have you seen the gifts the sisters prepared for you and me?" Old Madam Xue leaned aside and listened to their chat.

The two shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen it yet.

Mr. Xue signaled to Nanny Chen to open the box given to them.

After seeing the thing and being silent for a while, Xue Mingxiang said, "This is too thoughtful."

"Indeed, when Qingning first mentioned this silk flower, I thought it was made of silk. But now I see that it is not. It feels more like silk thread." Guo Xian picked up one and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Xue Mingxiang.

"There is a piece of paper in here for the two girls." Nanny Chen handed the paper in the box to Xue Mingxiang.

Madam Xue became interested: "Let me see it."

"What did Grandma write?"

"See for yourselves."

The two of them huddled together to read the contents. After finishing, Xue Mingxiang smiled, "These three sisters are all very thoughtful. This is truly a velvet flower made of silk thread, twisted with silver threads. This level of ingenuity is something we've never seen before."

"They prepared it for each of us, as well as for the elders and sisters at home. It was really hard for them."

"Have you arranged for someone to prepare gifts for your return?" asked Mrs. Xue.

Xue Mingxiang: "It's been arranged. Someone was sent to the county town yesterday. It's our fault for not thinking carefully. We should have prepared it earlier. Now we've made a fool of ourselves."

Guo Xian continued, "Thank you, Madam Xue, for your advice. Otherwise, we would have been rude."

Madam Xue smiled and said, "It's okay. You children are still young. You should learn slowly and eventually you will be able to stand on your own. The Chen family is not the kind of family that picks on gifts, so just be careful in the future."

The two said yes, the journey was not fast, and they stopped frequently along the way, but they finally returned to Shangjing on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There was no lack of excitement and novelty in Shangjing. The wedding of the eldest son of the Guo family and the second daughter of the Qin family caused quite a stir.

The two families spent a lot of money, so the wedding banquet was naturally lively and grand. Most of the dignitaries in the capital attended, which gave enough face to the two families.

There is another piece of news, which was not told to other people who attended the banquet. The Guo family invited a master chef from somewhere, and the chef prepared dozens of kinds of pastries for the banquet. Not only did they taste good, but they also looked exquisite, just like the real thing.

It is also said that when the newlyweds were worshipping in the hall that day, a pair of festive dolls were placed in the hall, which looked very cute and adorable.

I also heard that on that day, the velvet flowers worn on the heads of several women were so beautiful that they attracted a group of noble ladies and maids to ask about their origins.

This topic of conversation was a hot topic in the capital for a long time, and it was not until the Spring Examination in March that it was gradually replaced.

The number of candidates for this spring examination was the highest in history, and since it was the first examination to be held by the new emperor, it was naturally very grand.

Xue Jingming failed the Mingjing exam and did not make the list, but he did not blame his elders and brothers for their constant persuasion and persuasion to prevent him from being depressed. After all, he was only about fifteen years old.
